ionic bonding

• what is formed when a metal reacts with a non metal


  giant ionic 3d lattice
• what is the invisible attraction called between oppositely charged ions


  electrostatic attraction
• features of a structure with a electrostatic attraction 


  • high melting point/boiling point
  • dissolve in water
  • very strong
• pros and cons of this model

  pro shows they are different sizes shows no like ions are touching eg positive next to a positive

  con ions are touching

  
• pros and cons of this model 


  pro- shows them not touching shows that each ion has 6 oppositely charged ions around it

  con- shows “bonds” that should be invisible attractions (electrostatic)

  
• pros and cons of this model 


  pro- shows formation of the individual

  cons - doesn’t show the structure of the giant lattice

  
• is an electrostatic attraction an invisible attraction

  yes
